Leman Copley
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Leman Copley (March 25, 1781–December 1862) was an early convert to Mormonism. Prior to his conversion, Copley was a Shaker.
In March 1831, Copley was called by Joseph Smith, Jr. to preach the gospel to the Shakers along with Sidney Rigdon and Parley P. Pratt.
In June 1831, Copley was excommunicated from the church. He was readmitted in October 1832. He served another mission with Doctor Hurlbut.
After the death of Joseph Smith, Jr., Copley joined the Church of Christ (Brewsterite) which was led by Hazen Aldrich. He left this church in 1849 and joined a Latter Day Saint denomination led by Austin Cowles, about which little is known.
